!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chapter 5- Numb with Promise.
Cat ran blindly down the street. Her eyes seemed blurry but she didn't cry. I mustn't cry, she thought. I promised myself that I would never cry, never let emotion take me over. I must be strong.
The streets were slowly emptying. Now, only newspapers littered that streets and the wind was picking up, throwing snow across the road, piling up in huge heaps. The cold numbed Cat's body. I should never have agreed to do this! She pounded the snow with her fist. Her eyes looked blood shot, even though she wasn't crying and her cheeks were raw with cold.
Finally, she reached a place that she recognized. It was the small old- fashioned store that cat had been to earlier that day. The lights seemed welcoming to her, so she stepped in.
The store was lit by several candles which spread a soft glow across the room.
"My dear? Are you alright? Shouldn't you be back at school?" It was Rosemary.
"Oh, I........ I just needed to think about some things." Cat replied.
"Well come in, it dreadfully cold outside. Shall I make you some tea?"
"Yes please." Cat set herself down by the fire. Rosemary came back with a tea pot and some blankets.
"Wrap your self in these and drink this tea. It will warm you up for sure." With Cat warm and comfortable, Rosemary sat down beside her.
"Suppose you tell me everything."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was dinner time and Cat still hadn't arrived.
The Marauders and the girls, Lily, Ari, Torii and Lis were sitting together. James was happy of course, but soon began to look worried as Lily seemed anxious.
It was Lis who voiced her opinion first.
"What happened to Cat, Sirius?"
Sirius made no answer.
"If you have hurt her Sirius Black, I will hunt you down and personally kill you!"
"Why the hell would I hurt her? And how would you know? Why don't you just keep your nose out of other peoples business Kylissa Raymond!"
"What do you mean hurt Cat?" Ari said.
"I know you too well Sirius, I dated you back in second year and fourth year, so I know what you are like. If I find out that you hurt her or something........I will......." Lis stalked off.
Ari, Lily and Torii exchanged worried looks. Usually it was Lily making these kind of threats, not Lis. Lis was the carefree type, they all knew she cared for them, but she never had showed it in that way before.
The remainder of the table stared at Sirius. "Will you stop it? I didn't hurt her a all!" Both Lily and Ari left the table. "I'm going to search for her," Ari announced.
Sirius then left the table too, with out a word.
Remus, James and Torii were left looking at each other. "I'm going too," said Torii. Immediately James and Remus left with her.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Well, I don't see what is wrong with kissing." Rosemary replied. The were still sitting by the dying fire and Cat had just finished telling Rosemary everything.
"I'm just confused, I suppose." Cat said. "He is different." She wrapped her hand around her empty cup.
Rosemary smiled kindly. "My advice to you is to go with him, let him call you nice names, kiss you, etc, but don't let it go too far until you are out of school." Her eyes shimmered with warmth for Cat, and Cat trusted her entirely, with her whole heart.
"Thanks, I will take your advice." Getting up, Cat made moves to go. Rosemary helped her clean up and put her hand on her shoulder.
"I see the pain that you went through. Come visit me anytime dear." Her eyes dictated that she had suffered in the same way and understood completely.
Cat smiled up at Rosemary and felt peace stir inside her. "I'd like that."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James started to search the corridors. I hope that she is ok, he thought. Passing one of the passages that he knew led to Hogwarts he caught a glimpse of lime green. Turning around suddenly, he watched as a girl emerged from the passage way.
Shaking her brown hair she turned and faced him.
"James?" she said.
"Cat! Are you ok?" Her face was red and numb looking, probably from the wind. Snow had settled on her hair and cloak. Other than that, she did look fine.
"Yeah, of course! I forgot my dress robes so I spent the whole time looking for them," she lied. "What went on with Sirius, Cat?"
Cat walked beside him. "I don't know, I probably being stupid. Don't worry about it, ok? Everything will heal itself in time." She brushed snow off herself and glanced at him.
"Everyone was really worried. Lis threw a fit at Sirius, Peter in no where to be found, Lily and Ari look like someone slapped them and Remus and I don't really know what to do. Torii has barely said anything. You had been gone for a least 4 hours!" James ranted.
"You sound like you were worried sick."
"Of course I was! You were my friend from when I was born! We lived in the same neighborhood, had cottages right beside each other, we told each other everything!! I don't want you to get hurt. Or be sad." He added.
"Thanks James, that does mean a lot to me. Your like a brother to me. I mean, I have a great older sister Laura, but no older brother figure, other than you. Which is weird since your only 2 days older than me! And I and fine with a capitol F!"
"I glad." He said softly. His birthday was on July 30th, hers was on August 1st.
"So who do you thing will win this cup this year?" Cat said, returning to a subject that the both liked.
"Definitely the Wimbourine Wasps...look at all their players!" James said enthusiastically.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lily looked positively green. Her hair was messy, her eyes red and she held her head in her hands. Ari and Lis were glaring at Sirius, Remus had his arm around Ari and Sirius was staring at the ceiling. Torii and James were still looking for Cat.
The portrait hole opened and in walked James, Torii ( who had met them outside the portrait hole and Cat.
".......He's playing great this year! Bagman has finally shown his colors! I'd love to go with you this summer James! The Quiddich World Cup in Wales! I ask my Mom, but I am sure that she will say yes. Want to come too Torii?"
"Sorry, Quiddich isn't my thing, tell me the result though and concentrate on winning our own Quiddich Cup Cat!" Cat was a chaser on the Gryffendor Quiddich team.
"Yeah! Lets ask Ari to come too! And Lily! And...."
"Why don't we just invite everyone!" James exclaimed.
"Yeah! Why not?"
Lily, Remus, Ari, Lis and Peter mouths dropped open. Sirius didn't even acknowledge Cat's presence.
"I have to go take a shower, tell everyone I will see them tomorrow, Ok?" Cat said before running up to the dormitory.
As soon as she had gone, Lily turned to Sirius again.
"What did you do!"
"Bloody Hell Lily, why would I hurt her? She's just being the herself."
Lis rolled her eyes, recovered from the shock.
"Sirius, I mean it. You have to do something, she won't listen to us!" Lily pressed.
"Yeah right, she practically loves you guys."
"But Sirius, you just have to....."
"Just drop it Lily, I am tired of talking about it. If she doesn't come to see me or make it up with me in the next 3 days, I will go to see her. We will make up eventually."
"Don't you mean Make out?" Lis muttered.
With a glare Sirius retreated to his dorm and the others followed suit.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Let's go to Hogsmead again," Cat announced. James had obviously explained the situation to the others, because when Cat arrived at breakfast, the others didn't press her and tried to act as though everything was normal. Cat was grateful, but it made conversation like walking on knives.
"Sure!" Ari replied. "I have to get a few gifts for my cousins."
"Which ones? Arabella and Isabella?" Cat asked
"Yep."
"Awwww, there so cute...." Ari and Cat wandered off together.
Lis glanced suspiciously at Sirius who was cutting his bacon and walked off as well.
"Why do people keep looking at me as though I've sprouted 4 heads?" Sirius commented.
"May be 'cause you hurt every ones favorite girl Cat?" Remus remarked. Sirius had an ugly look on his face.
"Going to Hogsmead Sirius?" Peter said to changed the subject. (A/N: Wow! I've actually made Peter say something!)
A glance a James. No help there, He was too busy staring at Lily.
"Nope." Came the reply.
"Why not?" James was pulled back from Cloud Nine.
"Your not going to Hogsmead?" "No."
Everyone else paused.
"Umm, why?" Asked Remus.
"One, 'cause everyone isn't talking to me and keeps looking at me funny. Two, 'cause I want to annoy Snape who also isn't going and Three......i dunno, I don't have a 3rd reason."
The remaining teenagers looked at Sirius weirdly.
"See? There you go again."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finished!!! Hope you enjoyed. Review please!!!!! It makes me happy. Hope that this was long enough for you. Help me out with a few ideas, ok?
I promise that Lily and James won't become official foe a while. May be not until Valentines Day!!!
Cat and Sirius' relationship is going to be a rocky road. I am going to have a sequel which will finish until Death, hopefully, or at least until the Wedding.
Review, review, review, review, review ,review, review, review ,review, review, review!!
